This review synthesizes recent advances revealing how hypercapnia modulates fundamental processes, immune regulation, tissue repair, and metabolism, through direct molecular mechanisms.. We detail how CO2 triggers noncanonical NF‐κB signaling, alters Wnt ligand secretion to impair alveolar regeneration, and exacerbates TLR4‐primed NLRP3 inflammasome activation; this pro‐inflammatory effect is most prominent in specific cell types like microglia and under conditions of sustained high CO2 levels.

    Figure 2. Validation of mouse multi-tissue microarray analysis. (a,b) Validation in mouse tissues. Fzd9, Wnt4, Wnt7a, and Wnt8b expression in the lung (n = 6–7) (a) and diaphragm skeletal muscle (n = 4–5) (b) from mice exposed to normoxic hypercapnia for 7 days. NC, normocapnia; HC, hypercapnia. (c,d) Validation in mouse lung and skeletal muscle cells. Fzd9 and Wnt7a expressions in MLE-12 cells (Ctrl, n = 22–23; 20%CO2, n = 5 per group), ASM cells (Ctrl, n = 22–23; 20%CO2, n = 5 per group) (c), or C2C12 myoblast (Ctrl, n = 18–19; 20%CO2, n = 4–5 per group) or myotube (Ctrl, n = 14–15; 20%CO2, n = 3–4 per group) (d) exposed to high CO2 for up to 24 hours (c) or 6 hours (d). Ctrl, control conditions. All values are represented as mean with error bars shown as the 95% confidence interval. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, unpaired two-tailed Student’s t test or one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post hoc test.
